Syllabus

The right of individuals to sue a state depends entirely on the consent of that state.

Whether an amendment of the Ohio Constitution (Art. I, § 16, as amended 1912) gives such consent directly or requires legislation to put it into effect held a question of local law in no sense involving rights under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of individuals suing the state for damage to property. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
